A Monster Finish for Busch

Written by  Gerald Hodges Monday, September 27, 2010 at 8:38 am

Kyle Busch led 172 laps of the 200-lap Nationwide race at Dover Raceway for his 11th victory of the season. The win allowed him to surpass his mark of 10 wins in 2008 and break the tie he had for wins in the Nationwide Series with Sam Ard.

“It’s very special,” Busch said of the record. “Sam is a great individual and was a great driver in his time (early 1980s). For myself to be able to come out and compete at that level and get as many wins in a season is hard enough to do, but then to go out there and beat a record is really great.

“From where Sam Ard was in his day and where we are today, I feel like a lot has changed in this sport, and, of course, it’s always challenging to go out and get a win on a given weekend. But for us to win 11 this year is very, very special to me, and that’s why I say it’s so special to (crew chief) Jason (Ratcliff) and to all these guys on the team, because they’re all part of it.”

Despite a vibration that gave him some nervous moments in the closing laps, Busch beat polesitter and JGR teammate Joey Logano to the finish line by .400 seconds, marking the 11th time JGR cars have finished 1-2 in the series.

Top 10 points leaders after 28 of 35: 1. Keselowski-4,414, 2. Edwards-4,094, 3. Kyle Busch-3,914, 4. Allgaier-3,656, 5. Menard-3,597, 6. Harvick-3,423, 7. Bayne-3,261, 8. S. Wallace-3,157, 9. Leffler-3,129, 10. Logano-3,047.
